Thanks to the sour cream recipe, I created this recipe: I got a nice amount of almond pulp that looked like feta cheese. I just had to add almond butter, olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and garlic, shape it into a square, place it in the fridge for an hour to set, and finally sear it on a griddle pan.
The recipe below also includes instructions for making the Feta Cheese from Scratch.
A great way to serve the feta cheese is to crumble it on a Waldorf pears salad.
Serve with bread or baguette, and you have a light, tasty and nutritious meal ❣️
